Given the size of the UK, we don't really have a culture of this sort of thing here. (We do have caravans, but typically a family might spend a week in one, not a year.) It all sounds quite extraordinary to me; I wonder, is this good for the children? For their education?

Not having a camper, nor any interest in getting one, I don't have a dog in this fight. However, I do believe that "living differently" is good for people in general, children in particular. I live with wife & 2 kids on a small horse farm. One child can barely remember the suburbs (the city not at all), the other has never known them. I think that we are all better people for living "out there." Not that there's anything generally better about where we live, but because we realized that we had a choice and chose to live where & how we would be happier. And growing up seeing that there are many different ways to live instead of assuming everyone lives in a suburban housing development is probably the best thing we could do for their education. And BTW, the rural school district we live in is very good if you care about that kind of thing.
